Here are 5 common myths about yelling at kids to stop believing once and for all…

Myth 1️⃣: Only bad parents yell. In fact, you may be yelling because you’re a very GOOD parent and care enough to lose your cool.

Myth 2️⃣: Yelling will psychologically damage kids. As long as there’s no abuse involved, raising your voice from time to time is not going to damage your kids. There are negative and positive moments in every relationship, so do what you can to create more positive ones and try not to sweat the negative ones.

👉🏽 Some experts even say that raising your voice with kids can be ok as long as it’s not sustained, your child is old enough to understand your words (and not just be scared by your tone), and (importantly!) clearly focuses your frustration on the *behavior* and not your child themselves.

Myth 3️⃣: Other parents don’t yell. Not true! Some may save the yelling for behind closed doors, but most do raise their voices at their kids at least sometimes. It is, after all, an instinctual way to respond to conflict or unrest. It seems pretty unrealistic to NEVER yell!

Myth 4️⃣: Yelling is the only way to be heard. In the moment it may feel like yelling is the only way your kids will actually listen…but this strategy can often backfire! Using a calm, neutral tone and setting firm boundaries will get you a lot further than yelling and escalating the tension.

Myth 5️⃣: It’s impossible to yell less. It may feel like a deeply ingrained habit, but you CAN learn to yell less! With practice (and grace for yourself when you slip up), you can gradually lower your impulse to yell in a frustrating moment!
